The regulation aims to implement a resolution onthe personnel strategy in the period of national industrialisation andmodernisation enhancement, issued at the third session of the eighth PartyCentral Committee, and Resolution 11 on the rotation of leading and managerialpersonnel, issued by the ninth-tenure Politburo.
It specifies the purposes, requirements,principles and targeted positions of the reshuffle, rotation criteria, processand duration, and benefits for reshuffled personnel, along with supervision ofrotation and handling of violations.
Any official within the political system iseligible to be rotated to a different job, with the aim of increasing personnelfor disadvantaged areas and cutting redundancy.
The rotation of officials also aims at filling keyprovincial and district positions with officials who are not local residents,while preventing officials from holding a position for more than twoconsecutive terms.
Personnel rotation must be under the leadershipof Party committees at all levels, and it must ensure democratic centralism.
Only leading and managerial personnel arerotated. Those doing specialised work are not reshuffled, excluding when thereis the need to increase specialised staff in certain spheres or localities.
Those who are rotated must be young promising officialswho are included in personnel plans. They must also have good politicalvirtues, morals, lifestyles and capacity.
The reshuffle can be made between the centraland local levels, between localities, and among agencies of the Party, theState, the Vietnam Fatherland Front, socio-political organisations, armedforces, public service units and State-owned enterprises.
A person must hold a position for at least threeyears before being rotated.
